Last was kuan po mag 2 years na po. Yung tatay kasi ng best friend ko is namatay dahil sa dengue. Mga 50 years old palang po. Pumunta lang sa manila para kunin yung kapatid nya at dalhin dito sa probinsya but doon sya namatay sa manila. Bigla lang po. Tapos yung result po sa hospital dengue daw po but wala pong symptoms na nakita or lumabas na rashes . Kaya di naagapan .

At sa Tb naman po mga matatanda yung mga kilala kung meron. Dahil siguro sa pag sisigarilyo.
